Usage

1. To get all real estate properties for sale in specific area

If the area is within Canada, then pyRealtor will fetch listings from REALTOR.CA

import pyRealtor

house_obj = pyRealtor.HousesFacade()
house_obj.search_save_houses(
    search_area='Barrhaven'
)

If the area is within United States, then pyRealtor will fetch listings from REALTOR.COM

import pyRealtor

house_obj = pyRealtor.HousesFacade()
house_obj.search_save_houses(
    search_area='Bentonville'
)

If the city/area name is common between United States and Canada, then by default pyRealtor will extract listings from either country. To externally request pyRealtor to fetch listing from a specific country:

import pyRealtor

house_obj = pyRealtor.HousesFacade()
house_obj.search_save_houses(
    search_area='Ottawa',
    country='Canada'
)

RELTOR.CA API has the rate limit, and it may block IP in case you trigger API multiple times in short period. In that case, you can use use_proxy argument.

import pyRealtor

house_obj = pyRealtor.HousesFacade()
house_obj.search_save_houses(
    search_area='Barrhaven',
    use_proxy=True
)

2. To get only Open House listings in a specific area

import pyRealtor

house_obj = pyRealtor.HousesFacade()
house_obj.search_save_houses(
    search_area='CITY/SUBURB',
    open_house_date = 'MM/DD/YYYY'
)

import pyRealtor

house_obj = pyRealtor.HousesFacade()
house_obj.search_save_houses(
    search_area='Barrhaven',
    open_house_date = '10/29/2023'
)
